As it enters its 51st season, the renowned Takács Quartet continues to deepen its connections to timeless masterworks and enliven the string quartet repertoire through fresh artistic collaborations.
The season's second Takács visit features the Bay Area premiere of Nexus, a new work co-commissioned by Cal Performances from polyglot composer and pianist Clarice Assad, one of the most popular Brazilian American concert-music composers of her generation. As the ensemble says about the collaboration, "Clarice's music inspires interactive spirit and theatrical energy--we feel liberated by her limitless imagination." The program also includes Haydn's bold and exuberant Rider quartet and Debussy's kinetic, colorful sole quartet.
